Hello Mark - 

JD>>>  3) How does the "private message" work? 

CA>> There are no private messages within FIDO echos. I've
CA>> often wondered why OLRs even make the attempt to mark
CA>> messages as 'private'. 

ml> because QWK-type OLRs came to us from the RIME/PCRelay
ml> network which did/does have private messages in
ml> conferences... fido stuffs have been bastardized and
ml> forcefitted into that format instead of having software
ml> conformant to fido's needs and specs... 

I guess I always knew that from looking at the file formats and
source code for this OLR I use. :-\ 

We've discussed the lack of conformity to 'fido standards' many
many times and it just isn't going to happen in my lifetime if
ever.
